Clio provides you with a series of carefully curated and strategic questions about your audience and your goals. After answering these questions, you’ll get a complete book brief and outline.
Clio generates your book outline and structure based on the topics you provide. You can add new chapters, follow Clio’s suggestions, and then confirm for your full book structure.
If you’re not in the mood or location to talk, you can choose to type your content in response to Clio’s questions instead, providing flexibility and control.
Clio uses a voice-activated system that records your spoken content, and then structures and edits it as you go. This way, you can create your book manuscript in record time with minimal (to zero) need for typing or writing.
Clio’s voice-assisted feature enables you to capture your thoughts and content effortlessly – without any restrictions. By leveraging this feature, authors can produce content quicker, without getting bogged down by formatting and structuring concerns.
Clio’s book-related prompts and questions leverage an established, award-winning publishing support process already used to produce over 100 non-fiction books. Adding those to cutting-edge AI, and over 50 years of experience in publishing, business coaching, and tech, Clio simplifies and enhances your book creation experience from inception to completion.
Stay motivated and on track with your recording streak, word count, and tailored weekly progress reports from Clio. These insights provide an overview of your writing achievements, highlighting your journey’s milestones and helping you make consistent progress towards completing your book. They also include the link so you can easily jump back in!
Clio is designed to be your multi-purpose book-writing assistant, adapting to your pace and timelines. Create a custom schedule, set your own milestones, and create your book within the time frame that suits you.

with AI-assisted planning, recording, and editing
Clio is an AI-powered platform that helps entrepreneurs and business leaders write books faster and easier. Speak your ideas, and Clio's AI will transform them into a structured, written manuscript. With Clio, you can become a published author without ever needing to touch a keyboard.
It’s worth noting that the platform does not generate the book content for you. It’s your words and your copyright with Clio’s AI-assisted editing, typing, and structuring features.
Clio is perfect for busy professionals who have valuable insights to share but lack the time or writing skills to write a book. Whether you're a CEO, consultant, or industry expert, Clio can help you turn your knowledge into a professional, bestselling book.
Clio uses a streamlined process:
a. Answer simple questions about your book's theme and target audience.
b. Review and approve a structured outline tailored for your book.
c. Speak or type your content - Clio captures everything.
d. Clio's AI constructs your draft, then our human editors polish it for a professional finish.
Clio offers several advantages over a ghostwriter:
No prior writing experience is necessary. Clio guides you through the entire process, from brainstorming ideas to finalising your manuscript.
Yes! Clio allows you to invite co-authors to collaborate on your manuscript simultaneously, accelerating the drafting process.
With Clio, you can complete a draft in as little as a weekend. However, you can also take your time and complete your draft at your own pace.
In addition to the software edit included in all subscriptions, Clio also offers professional human editing to ensure your manuscript is polished, error-free, and ready for publication. Sign up to Clio Premium or Clio Professional to include a qualified, experienced, and trained human editor.
Absolutely. During the initial setup, you can provide industry-specific keywords and reference materials to help Clio understand your niche and tailor the output accordingly. There is a caveat here. If you use language relating to violence, hate speech pornography, nudity or sex, Clio may not be able to process your content.
Clio is a cloud-based platform, which means you can access your book project from any device with an internet connection. Whether you’re using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, Clio’s user-friendly interface is designed to work seamlessly across all these devices.
This flexibility allows you to contribute to your book whether you're in the office, at home, or on the go.

While Clio focuses on manuscript creation, we offer resources and support to help you navigate the publishing process. Once your manuscript is ready, you can either submit to a publisher or come to us for publishing and self-publishing support.
Clio cannot guarantee a bestseller as there are a lot of variables to becoming one that can change at any time. We do help you create a high-quality manuscript that can attract readers and publishers, as well as post-production support to publish, promote, and market your book. We also provide the Bestselling Book Launch Campaign via our partner, Write Business Results. WBR has achieved 100% bestsellers within a week of launch since January 2022 with this campaign.
While Clio focuses on text content, you can incorporate visuals at the formatting stage if you choose any of our post-production support plans. Simply include a note to your human editor who will then work with the design team to ensure that all visuals are correctly formatted and included in the final manuscript.
Clio offers helpful prompts, cues, and topic suggestions designed to completely prevent writer's block. You can also revisit and revise previously recorded sections for a more cohesive flow. If you do find yourself needing help, you can contact Team Clio at [email protected] or request a callback here.
Clio is programmed to retain your unique voice and style. Human editors further refine the draft to ensure a natural and engaging read. Clio does not have the ability to create content on your behalf. Clio turns the content you give her into a book manuscript.

If the mic is pulsing, it’s recording. If you’re still unsure, please make sure you are connected to the internet, then head back to the homepage and use the mic test function. Please note that if you are using Clio whilst driving and pass through an area that causes your internet connection to drop, you will have to stop safely to reconnect and start recording the answer again.
Yes, Clio is designed to be flexible to fit your unique expertise and ideas. If a specific prompt does not apply to your book, you can easily skip it and move on to the next one. Just click “Skip” at the bottom right of your screen and the next prompt will appear.
The suggested word count for a business book is between 50,000 and 80,000 words. As a general guide, the average person speaks at about 125-150 words per minute. Therefore, a 50,000-word book would require roughly 330-400 minutes of speaking, which translates into about 5-7 hours of total recording time.
Clio implements robust security measures to safeguard your intellectual property. All data is encrypted, stored securely, and access is restricted to authorised users. You can view our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for more information.
You retain full ownership of your book copyright and content. Clio provides options to download your manuscript and send it to publishers, editors, and designers or work with our preferred partner, Write Business Results, to complete your book for self-publication.
Yes, Clio allows you to export your manuscript in various file formats for further editing or publishing with third-party tools.
